General call

Physicality in illness and recovery:
Bodies are the physical vehicle through which we experience the world. Each is different. Within the many (flawed) categories of illness and recovery exist many variations on the physical experience. There is something priceless in each one. In language that makes sense to you, show us your embodiment.

What is it to live in your body? What was it like to live in the body of your past, or what might it be like in the future? How do you know your body? How do you know the world through the sensations of your body? And how do we relate to one another, in the context of these bodies?

THINGS MY MOTHER HAS TOLD ME TO TRY & It's Tuesday, Didn't You Hear?

"One thing I've learned is that people will let you say anything if you do it right."

Any Auditory Experience

"I try to think through the post-op haze 
about angels and saints—about martyrdom."

Winter arrives like a word forgotten,
tasting of frost—a memory
better left behind to melt on the tongue.
